I dont take the bible literally. Plus I'm sure God, the omniscient entity isnt that cruel to his subjects to discard 60% of his creations because they were born in the wrong place/time.
That being said I'm agnostic but I really want to be Christian yet I cant honestly manifest my faith in it. I think there IS a God but I cant honestly say that it's the christian God.
I have to pragmatically hedge my bets and side with no god so I dont get blasphemer added on my sin list.
That being said the current pope sucks. Hes a poor Catholic pope/leader.
Why wouldn't you take the words of Jesus literally? He said that's the way it will be, so that's the way it will be. It's not because they were born in the wrong place or time; Jesus in this passage is referring to judgement day. In the days before judgement day, all shall know of the Lord, whether alive or dead. The Lord will speak to the dead:
"[24] Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life. [25] Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.
[26] For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself: [27] And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man. [28] Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God. [29] And they that have done good things, shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment."
-John 5:24-29
I suspect that it would be more than 60%. Where did you even obtain that arbitrary number? According to Matthew,
"[13] Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. [14] How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!"
-Matthew 7:13-14
You may still yet find the truth. You still have time to realize the correct path, though the day of judgement draws ever nearer.
To claim that God does not exist is blasphemy in itself. Your hedging bets is not helping you; if anything, you are being dishonest and lying to yourself.
I do agree that the current pope is garbage. We haven't had a good pope since John XXIII. Seriously, how do we have a leader who says the type of crap that he says.
Let’s play a question game
